Me telling people how to use KiCad: "Just make your own footprints it takes like 2 seconds"
Me actually using KiCad: 3 days and 8 printed mockups in for a single cursed 2x35 pin header / card edge footprint.

chat, please rate my NVIDIA BlueField-3 DPU power, cooling, and communications solution
yes, that's a hairdryer. yes, it is very loud. yes, it reduces the temperature from "96C and after 10 minutes the NVMe gives up trying to read" to "80C"

New day new LNB.
This time a Digital Channel Stacking (dCSS) one from Canal Digital.
It digitizes both polarizations and then puts the requested channel at the requested place in the down link.
Too bad the MaxLinear MXL862 has no public documentation.

Folks should at least be able to present theory for their claims, and failing that, simulations.
The scientific method hinges on presenting theoretical foundation for reproducible proof, and if you got neither, you're just regurgitating what a stochastic parrot fed you (vomited down your throat!)

Ham Radio Users Clash With Starlink Rival AST SpaceMobile Over Spectrum Use
AST wants to use the 430 to 440MHz band for a satellite-to-phone service. Ham radio enthusiasts say the company's plan is vague and could interfere with their slim slice of spectrum.

Here is switching on and off an 800A breaker I got from ewaste.
It has an internal motor to wind the spring, but its not powered up, so the manual winder has to be used.

Shiny waveguide multiplier with a WR-137 flange.
So maybe 5.76GHz target output with suitable Drive.
Currently best output was achieved on ~6GHz with 1.5GHz and 3GHz drive.
